last funny for the day
George Bush is visiting the Queen of England.
He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient
government? Are
there any tips you can give me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to
surround yourself
with intelligent people."
Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are
really
intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea.
"Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence
riddle.
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send The
Prime Minister
in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Your Majesty..."
The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother
and father have
a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who
is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Blair answers, "That would be
me!"
"Yes! Very good!" says the Queen.
Back at the White House, Bush calls in his vice president,
Dick Cheney.
"Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a
child. It's
not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says the vice president. "Let me get back to
you on that
one."
Dick Cheney goes to his advisers and asks every one, but none
can give him
an answer.
Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin
Powell's shoes in
the next stall.
Dick shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother
and father have
a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Dick Cheney smiles. "Thanks!"
Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and asks to speak with
Bush.
"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that
riddle. It's Colin
Powell."
Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells
into his face,
"No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
